Description The present investigation entitled “Evaluation of superior genotype of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)” was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm of the Department of Horticulture, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, during rabi season of the year 2009. The field experiment included 74 genotypes of tomato, which was evaluated through Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 3 replications and the observations were recorded for the following parameters viz., days to 50% flowering (days), plant height (cm), number of branches per plant, number of fruits per plant, fruit length (cm), fruit width (cm), average fruit weight (g), number of locules per fruit, number of clusters per plant, number of seeds per fruit, fruit yield per plant (kg) and fruit yield (q/ha).The results of this experiment indicate that the overall performance of the genotypes Amrita, Pant-T-7, NUN-4, RCMT-1-3, ATL-0239, DVRT-2, KS-229-1, RCMT-2-1, CTS-05-05 and DVRT-1-2 was found to be best among all the genotypes. Among the 74 genotypes, genotype Amrita was observed to be superior for days to 50% flowering, genotype NUN-4 was observed to be superior for maximum number of branches per plant and maximum number of clusters per plant, genotype Pant-T-7 was observed to be superior for maximum plant height, genotype RCMT-1-3 was found to be superior for number of fruits per plant, genotype ATL-0239 was found to be superior for maximum fruit length, genotype DVRT-2 was observed to be good for maximum fruit width, genotype RCMT-2-1 was observed to be best for maximum number of locules per fruit, genotypes CTS-05-05 was found to be best for number of seeds per fruit and genotype DVRT-1-2 was found to be best for higher fruit yield per plant and fruit yield per hectare. Hence, these ten genotypes (Amrita, Pant-T-7, NUN-4, RCMT-1-3, ATL-0239, DVRT-2, KS-229-1, RCMT-2-1, CTS-05-05 AND DVRT-1-2) were found to be the best out of 74 genotypes, for further tomato breeding programme and to grow in tropical and subtropical regions.
